You're Losing 99.9% of Your Leads (Here's How to Follow Up Until They Say Yes).Most businesses don't even track their visitors. If you don't have Google Analytics or a way to know when somebody comes to your site, you're missing out on 99.9% of your leads.In this video, I'm going to break down exactly how we're able to follow up with our leads on every channel over and over until they say yes and how you can do it as well.This channel is no fluff. I'm just going to share my screen, show you how you can do it so you can get results.CHAPTERS:0:00 - Why You're Losing 99.9% of Your Leads0:45 - How to Track Visitors and Stop Lead Leakage1:30 - How to Create Educational Content That Converts2:45 - How to Train AI to Talk and Act Like You4:00 - How to Write Personal Style Follow-Up Emails5:15 - How to Connect Leads Across Multiple Platforms6:30 - How to Set Up Automated Follow-Up Sequences7:15 - How to Run Low-Cost Retargeting Ads That WorkSTEP-BY-STEP EDUCATION:Step 1: Track Your Visitors ProperlyYou can't follow up with people if you don't have tracking and pixels set up. You need to know how many visitors are hitting your site, how many people are hitting your CRM versus how many are just leaving. The average website gets a 0.01% conversion rate - somebody comes to your blog and leaves without filling out the form.Step 2: Create Helpful Educational Content WeeklyCreate a YouTube video every single week that generates all your other content. If your new lead just sees you selling and making generic, boring social media posts, they don't care. They're just going to go to the next brand. But if you're creating educational content and they learn from you, they're more likely to become a customer.Step 3: Train AI with Your Voice and StyleUpload your YouTube videos so AI starts learning what you say, the words you say, how you say it, your sense of humor, and it can create helpful content based on what you're teaching. If you're not comfortable on camera, speak into audio and record your voice and upload that transcription.Step 4: Follow Up with Personal EmailsWrite emails by speaking into your phone. The main goal when following up is to ask them questions about them, not tell them about you because they don't care about you yet. Ask more questions, get them to respond - if they respond to that email, you're more likely to stay in their inbox.Step 5: Connect Across All PlatformsGet them to connect on LinkedIn after they've seen your video, joined your newsletter, read your blog, saw your Twitter post. You want to show up in their email consistently, show up in their LinkedIn profile, and wherever you're most active.Step 6: Set Up Automated SequencesAdd them to automation that keeps you top of mind so you don't need to post every single day. Email them every other day, and after about five relationship-building emails, add them to the newsletter. Step 7: Run Retargeting AdsSet up low-cost retargeting ads to anyone that hits the site. We don't need more people, we need to follow up with the people we already have. COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED:Q: What if I don't have time to create content and follow up manually?Get an assistant or have a company help you. Either way you need to do it because you're going to be left behind. Q: How often should I follow up with leads?Email them every other day for about five relationship-building emails, then add them to your newsletter for consistent top-of-mind awareness. Q: Which platforms should I focus on for retargeting?You really only need to start with three platforms, but as your brand grows, follow up on every platform - Google, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, everywhere. Q: How much should I spend on retargeting ads?Start spending $25/day or about $1,000/month if you can. You don't need to spend much - we don't need more people, we need to follow up with the people we already have.

Multiple touchpoints across platforms increase recognition3. Strategic ads put you in front of ideal customers4.

Once you're comfortable and have systems in place, aim for three times per week. Consistency matters more than frequency.Q: Do I need expensive equipment to start?No. I use simple screen recording software like Tella. Focus on providing value and education rather than perfect production quality. Good content with average video quality beats perfect video quality with poor content.Q: How long should my videos be?Keep your hook under 30 seconds, then break down your content into clear steps. Educational videos can be 5-15 minutes. The key is providing complete value while keeping people engaged throughout.Q: When should I start running YouTube ads?Have at least 3 high-quality educational videos published and be posting consistently for a few weeks before starting ads.

Author: Brad Smith Company: AutomationLinks The Robot Stalker That Makes Me Money (While I Sleep). Your website just became as useful as a broken vending machine. 99% of your visitors show up, look around, and leave forever. Meanwhile, I built a robot stalker that follows every single visitor around the internet until they become customers. Sounds creepy? Maybe. But it works. In this episode, I break down the exact 3-step system that turns your website into a lead-generating machine using AI automation. No more chasing leads. No more wondering "what happened to all my traffic?" You'll learn: Why lead magnets are dead (and what replaced them)The "24 touches across 3 platforms" rule that converts strangers into buyersHow to build an AI agent that talks exactly like youThe follow-up sequence that got me clients who signed up a YEAR laterThe reality: Less than 1% of website visitors actually buy from you. That means you're wasting 99% of your traffic unless you have a system to follow up. The solution: A robot that legally tracks every visitor, gets their contact info, and follows up with personalized messages that sound like you wrote them. I've been doing marketing for 10 years, worked with 2,500+ brands, and this is the system that changed everything. Ready to stop letting leads slip through your fingers? Listen up, take notes, and actually implement this stuff. Because while your competitors are still hoping people remember them, you'll have a robot that makes sure they never forget. Want the free tool I mention? Head to the YouTube channel and comment "TOOL" - I'll send you everything you need to build your own profitable stalker system.

It's the wild, wild west, baby. Things have changed. Google just made a huge change to make sure that they dominate the market and to actually restrict these AI crawlers from finding your business. My podcast is going to break down exactly what you should do to be the top search result in AI searches. I think right now is the wild, wild west. It's the gold mine where you can actually go be that top search result. Now, AI knows if you're a spam bot and you're going out there and you're trying to get these links into all these businesses to try to get better results and scam the system, they're going to shut you down. And it's the legitimate, trustworthy business owners that do the right thing, but also create the best content that's helpful and educational. That that's what's going to be the ones that stand out. Four common questions: Q: How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT search results?A: Create helpful "how-to" YouTube videos, transcribe them into authentic blog content, and distribute across 9 key platforms including podcasts, LinkedIn articles, Medium, and Reddit. AI engines prioritize genuine, educational content over spam. Q: What type of content ranks highest in AI search engines?A: Educational content that answers specific questions starting with "how to" or "what is" related to your business. The key is using your authentic voice through video transcriptions rather than AI-generated text, as AI can detect and prioritize genuine human content. Q: Which platforms should I focus on for AI SEO in 2025?A: Start with YouTube (Google owns it), then expand to podcasts, your website blog, LinkedIn articles, Medium, X/Twitter articles, Reddit, and email newsletters. Also create short-form content for Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Q: How long does it take to see results from AI SEO strategies?A: With proper indexing techniques, you can see YouTube videos ranking on Google's first page within 6 days. However, building comprehensive authority across all platforms typically takes 2-4 weeks for initial traction, with long-term growth occurring over months of consistent implementation.
